Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has poured cold water on reports linking Marcus Rashford with a summer move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, insisting the Manchester United forward is not considering such a switch.

Speculation had intensified in recent days over the England international's future following the end of his loan spell at Barcelona, with rumours suggesting he could reunite with former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at the Saudi club.

However, speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano dismissed the claims and clarified Rashford's current position.

"In the last 24 hours on social media, many rumours on Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo's team, trying to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. Guys, let me clarify one thing," Romano said.

According to the respected transfer journalist, Rashford's priority remains continuing his career at the highest level in European football.

"According to my information, Rashford is not leaving Manchester United this summer in case of proposals that are coming from these kinds of countries," Romano explained.

He added that the only scenario in which Rashford could leave Old Trafford would be if a leading European club made a significant offer that satisfied both the player and Manchester United.

"Marcus Rashford eventually would only leave Manchester United if a top European club arrives and puts big money on the table for Manchester United, because you still need to agree with Man United. The release clause is no longer valid," he added.

Romano's comments suggest that, despite ongoing speculation surrounding Rashford's future, a move to Saudi Arabia is currently not on the player's agenda.

Opinion: Rashford Still Has Unfinished Business in Europe

Marcus Rashford remains at a stage of his career where competing at the highest level of European football is likely to be his biggest priority. If Fabrizio Romano's information is accurate, rejecting interest from Saudi Arabia in favour of waiting for the right European opportunity is a decision that aligns with the ambitions of many players in their prime.

A reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr would undoubtedly generate global headlines, but it would also represent a major shift away from Europe's elite competitions. For a player of Rashford's pedigree, there is still much to prove in the Champions League and the continent's top domestic leagues.

The key question now is whether a top European club is prepared to meet Manchester United's valuation. Interest alone is rarely enough—any potential move will depend on both financial negotiations and the player's own ambitions.

Until then, speculation will continue, but Romano's update provides a clear indication that Rashford's immediate future remains focused on Europe rather than a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.
